TypeScript · License: AGPL-3.0 with exceptions (see LICENSE)
What it does. An open-source CRM (customer relationship management) platform pitched as an open alternative to Salesforce: companies, people, deals, custom objects and views, workflows and AI agents, used as a hosted cloud service or self-hosted with Docker Compose.
Caveat. Licensing is mixed: the LICENSE file puts most code under AGPLv3 with an added exception for apps built on its interfaces, marks some files as commercially licensed Enterprise code, and puts the SDK and UI packages under MIT, so check which parts you rely on before self-hosting or modifying it. Releases come every few days, and both v2.49.0 and v2.50.0 list breaking changes (app permissions, AI credit accounting). AI features consume credits. Self-hosting means running and securing a database full of customer data.
